Answer 1

I am assuming that you have Xp in one partition and 2000 in another. If that is the case, it will not slow the PC because if you are running from the one Windows partition, it totally ignores the other version of Windows.

IF you want to get rid of 2000, make sure that the partition with XP is the active partition on the PC. Then simple delete or reformat the 2000 partition.

Answer 2

I also have Windows 2000 and Windows XP on my computer and I use Windows 2000 as an emergency partition to go to when my XP is giving me problems. I have been through many PC Crashes and dumb mistakes, resulting in accidental erasing of my 2000 or XP partitions or corruption.

I also keep a backup drive with copies of the originial drive, so I can do a complete switch over in the event of a crash or problems caused by spyware, registry errors, or what ever.

I changed from NTF partitions to FAT32 partitions in order to salvage folders if one partition fails by simply booting into the good partition, try all remedies - chckdsk and defrag, then open the disks in my computer, find to the critical folders (like Favorites and Documents...) and transfer a copy to the good partition.

If it is slowing down my computer, I really can't say. I have a Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz CPU.

Answer 4

Format the hard drive. Fresh installation of xp. Yes it slows the PC a bit.
